No argument is more central to the Republican attack on Sen. John Kerry than the assertion that the Democrat has flip-flopped on Iraq.

President Bush, seated beside Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, said Tuesday: "My opponent has taken so many different positions on Iraq that his statements are hardly credible at all.''

The allegation is the basis of a new Bush campaign TV ad that shows the Democratic senator from Massachusetts windsurfing to the strains of a Strauss waltz as a narrator intones: "Kerry voted for the Iraq war, opposed it, supported it and now opposes it again.''

Yet an examination of Kerry's words in more than 200 speeches and statements, comments during candidate forums and answers to reporters' questions does not support the accusation.

2. forward this article to all

talking heads on all networks and cable news networks! And every time you hear one of them repeat this crap send them the article again.

3. Bush supporters don't operate with the truth any way.

That's why these things work. Go to freeperville (on second thought don't go there) and see how much truth you can find in what they say.

5. This is all they've got: going for them: misrepresenting the other guy.

Since most of their voters don't do a lot of reading, apparently, it's pretty damned easy keeping their lies alive.

What a damned shame.

6. Every time this flip flop claim comes up we must pound the Bush

flip-flops on Iraq and all the other subjects available (besides tax cuts.)

7. This is good.

It would be nice if it grew some legs.

What are the odds that it will see any real distribution?

8. Can you imagine * windsurfing?

The idiot can't stand up on a gyroscopically stabilized Segway, I can't imagine that he would be able to even get to his knees on a surfboard.
